Disappointed

Who wouldn't want to see that face?
Desiree used to ask"Is it  Saturday yet?"because her birth father, Mike, would pick her up on Saturday. She has not asked that in awhile because Mike has been so irratic about his visits with her. She is realizing that her father is unreliable. And it makes me angry. I am angry because she has to feel the pain of disappointment. I am angry because Mike can't be an adult. I am angry because if he had let us adopt her in the beginning she wouldn't have to deal with this now.

But as always David and I are here for her.  I hope that she will grow up with a deep reasurance that Mimi and Poppy will ALWAYS be there for her.

Blessings,

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day everyone. As mothers we have been so blessed to have the greatest job in the world.
I love being a mother. It's not always easy and I'm not always the best I could be, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Thank you Lord for blessing me.

Blessings,
Melissa

Family time

Had  great evening last night with my family. We were all outside not doing  anything special. Brandon rode his bike, Josh and David fixed the wheel on the lawn mower, Desiree drove her Barbie Jeep and I enjoyed just sitting on the deck watching this wonderful family that God has blessed me with. No TV. No computers. No cell phones. Just us enjoying being together. Love it.

Blessings,
Melissa
